Humidity and my Hair

Why I didn't take photos of this phenomenon, I don't know.

But on Monday, the AC in my workplace appeared to be struggling. The humidity and heat outside was so overwhelming that the AC was pushing itself extra hard to keep the building cool. Well the affect left our newsroom extra humid.

How humid?

Well the paper in the office was wet. The pad along my keyboard holder and mouse pad were both wet. All of the white people in my office had wet dripping hair. So what happened to my hair, that I had just freshly done and twisted the night before? What happened to my hair a half hour after I had spent 30 minutes that morning taking the twists out to have curls?

It fell flat. It didn't curl or shrink like you would expect... but fell flat. Not a half hour passed before I noticed wet hair on the nape of neck. Disappointing. I pulled my hair back in a pony tail and it wasn't until that afternoon that the AC in the office got its act together and rid the humidity surrounding us.
